Capítulo 60 - Gay marriage hasn't been legalized in Honduras

 Right after our p-day eneded last week, we all went over to President Chase's house, and we have a family home evening with them. We ate a very good lasagna and for dessert, peanutbutter fingers with icecream to die for. then we went into the living room, and had a "family scripture study" it's super awesome, and was a welcoming to my companion in the office.

  You guys might think it's weird, but Elder Alvarado and I have contacted less houses than we have changes (transfers) in this area. We have been here for 3 changes (18 weeks), and I think we've contacted 2 houses in total. We've developed a very strong system with the memebers and recieving references. It was really hard at first, becuase they didn't like because we're "office" Elders but now they say they would prefer us working 3-4 hours a day than other missionaries working the entire day. They're really sad that Elder Alvarado is leaving, but Elder Rodriguez has been gaining a lot of trust of the members, so the momentum won't be stopping any time soon.

  This week we also had another baptism, the baptism of Karina. She was also someone who progressed really fast. she had a lot of things happen in her life, and a lot of things that she had done too, so we had President Chase do the baptismal interview, and afterwards he told us that she was one of pepole most ready for baptism that he's seen in a while. It was great to hear that, and the baptism went perfectly.

  We went to the Alcaldia (I think the translation is town hall or something like that) this week to get Humberty and Jheny married. We got there, and we started asking questions about marriage and how to get the process done, because we had no idea how to get someone married. anyways... after asking a lot of questions... we basically got told that gay marriage hasn't been legalized in Honduras yet, and that my companion and I couldn't get married. We had to do a lot of explaining after that hahaha but in the end, we got it all figured out, and the wedding will be held this upcoming Friday, with the baptism the following saturday. We'll see how things go.
